She is fondly remembered for her selfless heart and always taking care of people. She was referred to as Mom K or Aunt Lil by many, even those that were not related. That's who she was, she had a soft spot in her heart for anyone that needed help in any way, and gave all she had to give. Lillian provided childcare for anyone who needed it for as long as she was able. She just adored children and wanted them to know they were cared for and loved, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She looked forward to celebrating holidays with her family, and did all she could to make them special. Every Sunday, she prepared a traditional dinner of spaghetti and meatballs for her entire family. Relatives and friends are invited to a visitation on Saturday, August 1, 2020 from 1PM to 2PM at the POPIOLEK FUNREAL HOME, 400 Clements Bridge Rd, Barrington, NJ, where a Memorial Service will follow at 2PM.
